My 2 year old hardly eats. no matter what i offer. he only likes popcorn , black olives, fish crackers and bacon. what can i do? he is small already.

The bottom line...: ...Is that he eats this way because you've allowed it. Talk to your pediatrician about techniques to get him eating a better variety of food. Then once you have those techniques, use them, even if your son cries and is unhappy. As far as being small is concerned...That doesn't matter, provided he's been growing well and is within a normal range. Your pediatrician can discuss that with you too.
